As I have said repeatedly, poverty is not a shameful thing – but it is an unacceptable thing. Therefore, my vision for the Nigerian workforce is one where every citizen who wishes to be, is gainfully employed and able to take care of themselves and their family. Together, keying into this vision, we will banish poverty’ the President, who was represented by Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkiru Onyejiocha, submitted.
The president also noted that in the face of global challenges, his administration is committed to making Nigeria achieve self-reliance while reducing dependency on others.

Our commitment to ending poverty is deeply intertwined with our focus on economic growth and job creation. We recognize that sustainable development can only be achieved by fostering an environment where job opportunities abound, ensuring food security, and eradicating poverty’ he added.
Tinubu also said the role of HR practitioners is crucial when it comes to moulding, and effectively managing people to become catalysts for economic resurgence in an increasingly competitive and changing world.
Also speaking , President and Chairman of Council, CIPM, Olusegun Mojeed, noted that now more than ever, HR is tasked with shaping a progressive organization and nation.
